It means Labour now have 42 seats on the council. The Conservatives, who controlled the authority just over a year ago, now have just seven seats. There are six Independents, and two Green Party councillors.

With no elections in 2025, and Labour only defending 11 seats in 2026, it means that they will retain power (bar by-election losses/defections) until May 2027.
